Chief of staff for GOP lawmaker spoke to law enforcement after overhearing talk of storming FBI building on January 6

A top aide to Republican Rep. Carlos Gimenez of Florida says he spoke with both the Capitol Police and the FBI on the morning of January 6 after overhearing a man in tactical gear talk about storming the FBI building just hours before the deadly insurrection.

Alex Ferro, chief of staff to the Florida GOP congressman, says he heard the comments as he and Gimenez were standing inside the lobby of the Hyatt Regency near Capitol Hill.

Ferro said the hotel lobby was filled with Trump supporters.

But it was the men in tactical gear who caught the attention of Gimenez and Ferro.

"It just seemed off for a peaceful protest," Ferro explained.

Ferro said he has not heard back from the FBI since reporting the incident to authorities on the morning of January 6.

1. My mantra..who did you talk to, what is their name, at the FBI...

Who did you talk to..how did you talk to them..did you call them on the phone? Did the Capital Police and FBI just happen by??

Who, what, where, when and how./%^$#%*&(

2. There may well be security tapes at the hotel still.
